Sullivan glanced at her.
After a moment, he let out a soft chuckle, “Why's your face so red? Soft and blushing, just like last night...” Megan replied hastily. “I've repaid you!” Sullivan, sensing it was best to leave it there, changed the subject after a while, mentioning he had to go to Zephyr City for a few days for an important business conference.
